My grandma had a patch of these flowers in the corner of her yard. I have no idea what they are (anyone? anyone? Bueller?) but I liked them as a kid. They are so bright and cheery looking, and they seem to thrived without making it to botanical gardens or manicured lawns.
I like that wildness. Reminds me of me. :)
Farmers commonly refer to these as "weeds". I'm a girl... I think they're purdy.
One year, when I was 10-ish, my grandpa had a field of clover. It was a sea of purple and green, and when you walked by, and the wind was right, you could smell the sweet clover.
That and my cousin and I used to pluck the petals and bite the nectar. LOL
Apparently I'm not the only one that thought it was a good idea.
Someone else very coldly named her "15"
How rude.

I want the picture of the barn!!!!!! I am remodeling our basement (in a barn theme), I have pictures that my mom painted that I will be hanging up when we are done and the barn one that you took is just beautiful! I love it!!!!
Gorgeous photos! I love the old barn and the flowers. Growing up we had those same flowers and called them tiger lilies, but they are actually called day lilies I think. They are a perinneal, they come back every year. I have some yellow and pink ones in my yard.
I love rural shots, it makes me miss living in the country like I used too.
Those "weeds" are also known as Monti's - they come in a variety of colors (purple, pink, etc). I worked at 1800Flowers and had to know all my "filler" flowers ;o)
Day Lilies and Slim Asters. I had to do hay and grass judging in High School Ag class.
Did you know day lily buds are edible and sold in oriental food markets as a veg?
